Reine is one of the best known fishing ports in Lofoten, not only due to its fishing industry,
but also due to its very special nature. Previously an island, but today connected to the mainland by bridges. Many artists have stayed here for a long time while painting the special nature as best they could.
Reine is the municipal center in the community of Moskenes, and here live 324 people today. In the whole of Moskenes community there live approximately 1130 people! Reine has been a trading center in this region since 1743!

‘Rorbuer’ (‘fishing cabins’) is a phenomena of northern Norway that has spread along the coastline. In earlier days these buildings were used for storage of fishing- and boat equipment, but today they have been rebuilt, modernized and used as rental objects inside the tourist industry. Some may hold a simple standard, while others keep more like a ‘hotel standard’.Og hvis du vil ha natur, eller fiske din egen middag, så har vi masse av begge deler! Men husk for all del at været fort kan skifte på disse kanter. Du kan fort få langt mer ‘vær’ enn du hadde tenkt deg 🙂

And if you wish for wild and beautiful nature, or perhaps fishing your own dinner, we do have lots of both! Just remember that the weather may change in a very short time in these parts, and that you suddenly may get a lot more ‘weather’ than you planned for! 🙂
